Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 6,6′-((1E,1′E)-{[1,4-phenyl­enebis(methyl­ene)]bis(aza­nylyl­idene)}bis­(methane­ylyl­idene))bis­(2-meth­oxy­phenol)

The Schiff base compound, C(24)H(24)N(2)O(4), was synthesized by the inter­action of 2-hy­droxy-3-meth­oxy benzaldehyde and 1,4-benzene dimethanamine in ethanol, and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with Z′ = 0.5. The mol­ecule is not planar, the 1,4-di­ethyl­benzene and the phenol rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 74.27 (5)°. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of sheets parallel to the bc plane. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was undertaken to investigate the various inter­molecular contacts controlling the supra­molecular topology, suggesting the H⋯O (18%) contacts to be the most significant inter­actions, whereas the H⋯H (50.5%) and C⋯H (24.3%) inter­actions are less significant.
